    OPINION: Why Trump’s fair housing tweet just isn’t cool
    Georgia House Speaker David Ralston has urged the state's two U.S. senators to vote for $500 billion in aid for state governments as part of a coronavirus pandemic relief package. “Georgia’s economy is typically a strong network of diverse revenue streams, but the pandemic has affected all of them, even those like motor fuel that typically tend to resist downturns,” Ralston wrote in a letter to Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. “The lagging effect on our largest revenue sources, income and sales taxes, is presenting us with additional challenges for months to come.”(ALYSSA POINTER / ALYSSA.POINTER@AJC.COM)

    A counselor who works with high school students applying to colleges warns that Georgia colleges will suffer if the University System continues to mandate ACT or SAT scores for admission.

    In this April 22, 2020, file photo, a sign sits in front of the Tyson Foods pork plant in Perry, Iowa. A group of worker advocacy organizations has filed a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture alleging that meat processing companies Tyson and JBS have engaged in workplace racial discrimination during the coronavirus pandemic. The complaint alleges the companies adopted polices that reject U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on distancing and protective gear on meat processing lines. The complaint says the operating procedures have a discriminatory impact on mostly Black, Latino, and Asian workers. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, file)
